Apps for Engineers: Team communication apps for iOS and Android

CFE Media's Apps for Engineers is an interactive directory of more than 170 engineering-related applications for Android and iOS operating systems, created by various companies. We've organized apps by category, company, and type. This month, gain access to our team communication category.

Fluke Connect allows the user to stay in contact with one's his or her team without leaving the field.

If users prefer certain providers, they'll be able to see what hotspots are served by those specific providers.
